THE COMPROMISE REJECTED AT
THE LAST HOUR.

Widespread Indignation Aroused by

Mr.. O'Brien to Sail for Canada at
Once to Denounce the Governor
General-Gladstoue Justifies Parnell
in Refraining from Suing the Times.
LONDON, April 27-Tmothy d. Sui
ivan, Lord Mayor Of Dublin, has written
to the Times in behalf OF the Nation and
Weekly Ne,cs, in reply to a correspondent
who accused Nationalist papers of refusing
to insert government advertisements offer
ing reward for evidence that would lead
to the arrest of the Phoenix Park mur-
dererS. Mr.. Sullivan says that though the
papers refused to take the castle money.
they announced the reward in their leading
columns.
The customs officers throughout Great
Britain and Ireland have received stringent
orders to search all vessels from America.
China and the East, the government having
been warned that explosives have been sent
from San Francisco to England.
GLADSTONE DEFENDS PARNELL.
1t has transpired that Mr. Gladstone in
his speech at the dinner given by the Labor
members of Parliament last night declared
his disbelief i'll the accusation made against
the Irish leaders. He said that in MAY, 1852,
when Under Secretary Burke was killed in
Phoenix Park, Mr. Parnell wrote him with
reference to that crime. The contents, which
had already been written under great men
tai distress, threw considerable light upon
the Topic of the present hour, and were
strong evidence that the Times letter was a
base and malicious forgery. He wrote that
he regarded the murderers with the utmost
abhoTence, and he offered to resign the
leadership of the Irish party if Mr.. Glad
stone considered it advisable in the interests
of Ireland Mr.. Gladstone said he would
refrain from saying what reply he made.
NOT ADVISED TO SUE.
Abiding to the advice rendered Mr. Par
nell from certain quarters that he bring an
action against the Times, Mr.. Gladstone
said that many years ago, when he was
Commissioner to the Ionian Islands, the
Times bitterly attacked him, accusing him
of treason. On returning to England he
consulted lawyer with view Of bringing
an action, but was dissuaded from taking
legal steps, the lawyer expressing the con
viction that even if Mr. Gladstone proved
his case, no jury in the existing state of the
public mind would be likely 10 convict the
Times. The Conservatives talk of challeng
ing the production OF the letters.
The debate in the House tonight on the
coercion bill was featureless. Mr.. Glad
stone will not speak ON the motion 10 go
into committee on the bill. Messrs ParneI
and Healy will appear in the House to-
morrow.
DRIFTING TO AN ELECTION.
Lord Roseberry, in speech at Glasgow
tonight, said he had an almost unlimited
belief in Mr.. Gladstone. The government,
he said, by pressing their wanton coercion
L. .E-As1
lead to a general election. Ii the Liberal
policy of Cancellation failed, the Liberals
would at least have the satisfaction of know
ing that they had tried an experiment which
they would never regret, and had placed
Englishmen i'll better position to deal with
their unhappy countrymen in Ireland.
Sir George o. Trevelyn writes: "The
passage of the crimes bill as it stands would
lay Ireland bound hand and foot at the
mercy OF the party in the ascendancy in
Ireland, which has never been governed
justly and never will, besides postpOnipg in
definitely cancellation and settlement of
ireland. The doctrine that the bill must be
supported in order TO keep the present gov
eminent in power is the most unsOund one
ever broached since | have been in public
life"
LANsDoWNE REFUSES.
DUBLIN April 27-The Marquis Of Ians-
downe's agent has declined to accept the
provisional arrangement made last week by
the mediators engaged in the task OF adjust
ing the dispute between him and the dissat-
isfied tenants on his Lugacurren estates.
This arrangement gave 20 lease holders hold
ing judicial rates and who had hitherto been
refused any concession a reduction of - per
cent. in their rents instead of
the 20 per cent. they asked, and
gave non-lease holders, who had asked
per cent. In addition to these concessions
the mediators proposed TO reinstate tenants
evicted since March for nOnpayment of
rent upon the payment of six months dues.
Among the other provisions of the arrange
ment were one exempting tenants from
costs in the present proceedings and another
allowing lease holders 10 break their leases
for the purpose Of entering the courts for I
readjustments
